Wounded, Alone, Fighting a Battle for Survival on a Japanese-Held Island

December 3, 2013

Format: Paperback

Lt. Gordon Manuel finds himself dumped on the island of New Georgia after his B-17 is shot down, legs full of shrapnel, only the clothes on his back. He must evade 70,000 Japanese soldiers sharing the island, most stationed at Rabaul, the military stronghold from which they attack Allied troops in the Solomon Islands to the south, which began with a protracted, bloody, muddy battle on Guadalacanal. Rabaul was the place where the planes Pappy Boyington fought came from in the TV show Black Sheep Squadron. Eating snakes and snails to survive, recovering from his injuries, threatened with exposure at any time by a native in exchange for a pack of cigarettes, Manuel scouts out the base at Rabaul and sets out to sea to try and reconnect with his people. Rivals anything from Dual Survival, Survivorman, or Bear Grylls because this guy did it for real...and came away with a heckuva story co-written by famed war correspondent Quentin Reynolds. First read this as a kid when I devoured stories of World War II and read a few times since. Great book.
